I'm not worried about them hating it. To be honest, the other guitarist in my band hated it the moment he saw it

Then I let him play it

His opinion changed immediately. He didn't want to put it down. It just plays too damn well to hate it over some spikes. The neck is just about perfect for my tastes (and his as well) and (as with any V) the upper fret accessibility is unrivaled. It's just a breeze to play. It practically plays itself.
